So the context was partly medical, in that a patient who attended for mental health admission, stated that he didn't want to be physically examined because it would be triggering; but this runs against the hospital mental health ward policy of needing "medical clearance" (which is a whole different bugbear). We did manage to work around it, (basically didn't do the physical exam but documented that he was able to talk, had no obvious breathing difficulty and could walk steadily) but it just got me thinking (I think because there was a lot of commentary around "look what you made me do" at the time (mentioned in the Israel-Hamas thread)
